Larry Fitzgerald loses Chargers-centric bet to PGA Tour golfer

Legendary Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald made a bet with PGA Tour golfer Charley Hoffman that the golfer would have to remove his Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers jersey if he hit the green at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on hole No. 16.

Fitzgerald lost the bet by missing the green only to be prodded by Hoffman afterward. Former NFL running back Reggie Bush also missed the green as well, but Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers salvaged the day for NFL players by hitting the green as the last to take to the tee.

Below fans can find a video of Fitzgerald’s bungled wager, as well as a Twitter thread that shows several other NFL players trying their hand at hitting the protected green.

Rivers had one of the best seasons of his career despite turning 36 years old, which surely delighted Hoffman.

And with offensive guard Forrest Lamp poised to return from injury and wide receiver Keenan Allen coming off of the best season of his career, the odds seemed to be stacked in Rivers’ favor for yet another big campaign in 2018.
